U+1E06C "𞁬" Modifier Letter Cyrillic Small Yeru with Back Yer Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𞁬

U+1E06C "𞁬" Modifier Letter Cyrillic Small Yeru with Back Yer is a typographic mark used in certain scholarly or linguistic transcriptions of Slavic and other Cyrillic-based languages, where it represents a modified or reduced form of the Cyrillic letter Yeru (Ы) combined with a backward-facing yer sign, often indicating a specific phonetic quality such as a centralized or retracted vowel sound. As part of the Cyrillic Extended-D block, this character functions as a diacritic or modifier letter rather than a standalone alphabet letter, serving to refine the representation of subtle phonetic distinctions in historical or dialectological texts. Its usage is highly specialized and primarily appears in academic or liturgical contexts where precise orthographic notation is required.
